I wish I could help you

I wish I could help you:

Can I hold you, I know your scared and don’t know what to do
I don’t have any answers but
I can cry with you I can hold you

Your face is so scorched in beaten confusion and doubt
If you made up your mind
Sweetie you are right

No one has the power to tell anyone, how to live there life
Your all that good is and
We can learn from your broken smile

Can I hold you if only for just a little while, I can cry with you and your child?
You’re a mother fighting back fear
Just have the strength to survive

Pain etched in your eyes and you pretend to be used to this abuse
Leaving your home because there is nothing else you can do
I want to hold you

No one deserves the power, to force there rules over you
Leaving is the only thing left for you
I wish there was something I could do
